Take a trip to SurrealLand as a rock'n'roll band, whose leader is Guitar Wolf(along with fellow members Drum Wolf and Bass Wolf), help other frightened folks defend themselves against zombies, created thanks to an alien invasion(in the form of flying saucers, we never see actual alien lifeforms). These walking corpses are extra blue(amplify the color scheme of the zombies of Romero's DAWN to the nth degree), lumber and lurch, stiffly surrounding unfortunates who can not get away. Masashi Endô is Ace, a major fan of Guitar Wolf's band, helping his hero upend a nefarious business exec named Captain(Makoto Inamiya)who wants to muscle his most popular group around, becoming an anointed blood brother. Ace is given a whistle by Guitar as a means to call whenever he's in a state of emergency and needs assistance. Ace meets Tobio(Kwancharu Shitichai)at a gas station, inadvertently halting a heist. Toshi and Hanako(Yoshiyuki Morishita and Taneko)are a married couple always arguing and bickering, scared out of their wits when their family member is devoured by zombies. There's included a Yakuza boss and weapons dealer in the cast of humans either warding off zombies or becoming members of the undead. The romance between Ace and Tobio gets more than a bit interesting when he discovers she is not exactly the "girl" he thought she was. Guitar Wolf's band are a Japanese equivalent of a band like Jet, slick hair constantly combed, leather jackets and black shades. Guitar Wolf's guitar never leaves his person, almost another body part he depends on(it does come in handy more than one occasion). Such bizarre moments include a once human couple, shortly after becoming members of the undead, lovingly embracing, Guitar Wolf killing a mass of zombies using "electrified" guitar pics, and Captain equipped(thanks to Guitar, never quite explained as to what this lead guitarist and singer gets such powers)with supernatural electromagnetic powers, firing lighting bolts of great intensity from his eyes. Most of the gore is in tacky CGI form, heads exploding from gunfire(how bullets could take off either half a face or an entire skull is beyond the realm of realism)mainly. Lots of punk music(reminiscent of The Ramones, to me)blaring away in the background. There are many moments where the movie just goes off the deep end such as how Ace is able to battle zombies all around him with little more than a crowbar and Guitar Wolf using his guitar(with a hidden sword in its handle)to destroy a giant space ship.

Well okay, if you've seen this you'll laugh at the title of my review, if you haven't seen it then why not? Go and watch it, see what I mean and then laugh! This is one hell of a high octane, barnstorming, rip-roaring, head-pumping, hard rocking movie right here! Great soundtrack! - YesGreat fun! - Yes Great plot! – Well, umm, actually, no, but who cares, it's fun! Is it mad? - Yes.Does it make sense? - Hell no! Does it matter? – No because it's fun!If you like loud music, laughing, flaming exhausts & exploding zombie heads then give this a go, you'll love it, I did!Oh, and that's one hell of a trick there Guitar Wolf, cutting down an Alien spaceship with a Samurai sword! Way to go! I didn't mention weird did I? Silly me!Everyone together now – Lock 'n' Loll!

Fantastic debut film fantastic modern trash movie not one for people who take things (in general) to seriously its all a bit of fun! The plot is what you'de expect but it really does not matter in this case its the taking part that counts(i cant believe i said that?!?! but its true). The lead singer of Guitar Wolf (also named guitar wolf) is superbly charismatic and cool even though he can't act for toffee it does not matter!!! The film really reminded me a lot of another Post Punk classic Repoman it has that similar feel to the plot with the aliens and all...hmmmm. Well if if you loved Repoman and you love the Ramones you will ****ing love this ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once every now and then, comes a movie that transcends mere celluloid and becomes something more. Something so saturated with style, attitude and it's own complete universe, that it becomes a way of thinking, a way of perceiving life. WILD ZERO is such a movie.Is it perfect? No, perhaps not. But that doesn't matter. It does things it's own way, making it's own rules and flippantly laughing at conventions and "the right way to do things".It's a thrill ride of violence, craziness, drinking, driving and, most importantly, Rock 'n' Roll. And it grabs you by the eyeballs and makes you laugh, makes you scream and blows your mind with it's frenetic pace and insane, over the top ideas. When the grand finale rolls around you will think it's the most natural thing in the world to happen.The acting is over the top and cheesy for just about everyone, but that's the only way to make something like this work. Hell, when is the last time you saw a Japanese movie with cool quotable dialog?Everything in this movie comes nicely together to make an experience that is more than the sum of it's parts. A wild and crazy, rock 'n' roll thrill ride with zombies, aliens, shoot outs, love and the greatest rock 'n' roll band in the world: Guitar Wolf.Highest of recommendations.
